I doIt's very intense this year no doubt.
Me! Like last year I didnt move a centimeter from my chair in front of my telly since the beginning of the the 24 hours of le mans.
I am from Austria btw....
I really enjoy night racing action!
OK so there is at least 3 of us
I am doing my personal best this year - so far have seen everything in except first training session (there were 2 as far as I know ?)
Wooow
Had no idea there was a women driver - beautiful and fast - Regards !

Did the jloc lamborghini even drive this race?
Yeah, only 1 lap though. Would have been nice to see it anyway. GT1 needs more competition next year. Would be awesome if Matech entered their Ford GT & Gigawave entered their GTR for 2010.

Which is good in a way since its proving commercialy good for eurosport apparently looking at adverts so next year also 24 hours live again is more likely (great service!) 👍

Hello, people! Let me chat a bit about my watching of Le Mans. And as always, you know I'm jacked about this weekend. So let me just make a little diversion and offer some light-hearted material here while I'm enjoying this race here.
* The big "Wow..." moment that I've seen so far was the Pescarolo Peugeot in the pits with one of the works 908 HDi FAP's.
* Let this be said right now- I LOVE those Lola coupe prototypes! The Aston Martin Lolas are lovely, though I do kind of wish it had the exact same sky blue as the classic GT40s. This blue is much lighter, and don't like it too much. But it's a sweet deal!
* The #3 Audi's off was really shocking to me, but no more than the Peugeot from my first talking point.
* It was sad the JLOC Lamborghini was the very first retirement. They were having their mechanical woes.
* Great to see Creation Autosportif in action.
* I didn't know that chrome-style paint on these cars helps cool the prototype cars down.
* I praise Risi Competizione as a homer, but I also cheer on Krohn Racing, also based here in Houston or in the Houston area.
* Regardless of if the #81 Team Advanced Engineering F430 GT2 finishes or not, it's great to see this car getting all kinds of charity money. Nothing's cooler than racing for a good cause. Cheers, mates!
* Great to see Mazda at Le Mans and racing with a pretty potent car. Not sure what Mazda did with that Furai concept, but it would be great to see them return with a car that can compete for the overall win. Unless... Toyota or Nissan or somebody want to challenge Mazda.
* I tend to like the newer driver number style for some reason.
Car Favorites
Time to talk style! I'm going to go on the Le Mans spotter guides as far as talking about my favorite-looking cars. Have a look:
* all Audi R15 TDI's
* all Peugeot 908 HDi FAP's
* the #10 and #11 Oreca01-AIM's
* all Lola B08/80 coupes
* the #5 Navi Team Goh
* the #74 Felbermayr Porsche 911 GT3 RSR
* the #82 Risi Competizione, #84 Team Modena, and the #99 JMB Racing Ferrari F430 GT2's
* the #87 Astron Martin Vantage GT2
* the #85 Spyker C8 Laviolettte GT2R
Then the only car I don't really like design-wise is the #25 (my driver number for my racing games) RML Lola B08/80. Just never liked that combination of white/red/blue much.
Off-Topic/Just for Fun
* With all the Gran Turismo 5 talk, and with Pescarolo featured in GT4, I'd be pretty happy to see either/both the Pescarolo LMP and/or the Pescarolo Peugeot in GT5.
* Speaking of GT5, it would be great to see some of the GT Ferraris in GT5. Psst, Polyphony Digital... get in Risi Competizione! I don't want to have to play just a Forza game just to race my hometown's sportscar racing team.
* I keep hearing of what it would be like for Ferrari to return to the prototype ranks. I still think NOTHING will surpass the 333SP. I would literally have wet dreams about a Ferrari prototype coming along after about almost ten years after the 333SP last graced the race track. Even more so if a future Ferrari prototype had the classic Momo colors like for the Momo Ferrari 333SP (which is my all-time favorite race car).
Halfway is in a few hours, which also means that chance of rain is possible. Rain is the big equalizer, so we'll see how rain plays a factor here.

At first I thought it was a joke, that the Dubai guy was Chris Neville!
It's late enough now, I'm getting fed up with the commercials that pop up ever 10 minutes on SpeedTV so I'm going to bed, get up tomorrow morning and hope the #9 Peugeot will still be in the lead 👍
